Siete veces la realidad
Siete veces siete la verdad.
Ëramos dos veníamos de vivir
Un dia de amor soleado
Nuestro sol lo abrazábamos juntos
La vida entera nos era visible
Al llegar la noche quedamos sin sombra
Puliendo el oro de nuestra sangre común
Éramos dos en medio del único tesoro
Cuya luz nunca duerme.
Le niebla mezcla su luz
Al verde de las tinieblas
Tú mezclas tu carne tibia
A mis deseos tenaces
Tu te cubres tú te aclaras
Te duermes y te despiertas
Por las estaciones fieles
Tu construyes una casa
Y tu corazón madura
Como un lecho como un fruto
Se refugia en él tu cuerpo
Y se prolongan tus sueños
Casa de los días tiernos

I'm wondering if this is the ring-legged earwig Euborellia annulipes. It has a global documentation.
Legs are a pale brown and have a noticeable dark band around the middle of the femur, or occasionally the tibia. Hence their common name.
Earwigs are omnivorous insects that perform beneficial roles such as cleaning up decaying matter. They use their pincers for defense, manipulating food and fighting for mates. Many species consume pollen, contributing to pollination.
Around 15 mm in length.

A male sun fly on bramble leaves at New Ferry Butterfly Park. This is the commonest species of 'footballer' hoverfly in the UK and can be recognised by frons dusting that stops short of the ocellae, a black bar right across the mid abdomen and just the botoom third of the hind tibia dark.
Marika climbing at Vallorcine, in knee high stockings and black dress, 2 months after her operation to rebreak and set her tibia and ankle.
Helina depuncta. (Female).
Length; 6.75mm – 8.25mm.
Found; Males most commonly seen in May to June but females can often be seen until November.
UK Status; Common and widespread in England and Wales but probably under recorded due to difficulty to positively identify.
Habitat; It breeds on cow dung so most commonly encountered around cow pasture.
Grey/brown with fine stripes on the thorax and no patterning on the abdomen. It has red femora and tibia, with yellow-tinted wings and darkened cross-veins. Often found sitting on foliage in the Summer and early Autumn.
Similar to Helina impuncta but among other characteristics there are no elongated presutural acr bristles while H. impuncta has 1 to 3 pairs.
I think with the curved hind tibia! My first hover of the year, seen last Friday.
Upton Magna - Shropshire
Scientific name: Chrysopilus auratus
Wetenschappelijk: Chrysopilus auratus
Chrysopilus cristatus, is a species of 'snipe flies' belonging to the family Rhagionidae.
This species is present in most of Europe.
The flies are 6 to 8 millimeters long. Similar to Chrysopilus erythrophthalmus, but slightly smaller than this species. The femora are dark grey.The tibia and metatarsus are yellow.
Oliver has a spiral fracture of his tibia. It can't be splinted or fixed surgically, but it hasn't displaced and he's being really smart about staying quiet and not putting weight on it. The latest set of radiographs show that it is healing, hopefully he's on the uphill climb. He's an amazing pony, and lucky to have been a fighting chance.
Hoverfly feeding on hemp agrimony at the Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB reserve. I initially identified this as Helophilus pendulus, but later realised that the well-exposed hind tibia are over 50% black - on pendulus this is more like 30%. Quite a subtle difference!
At the flea market. Vive la Commune! Some months ago the same guy was selling a wooden leg. Yet that skeletton has two tibia... hum...

The Halloween Bash was bound tibia great time!
No heads rolled, though some members of the band looked a bit femurliar.
;)
Helophilus Pendulus, size, - 12mm
This hoverfly has a black stripe down its face and the basal half of the hind tibia is brownish yellow, April - October in many open habitats, also called the Sun Fly as it likes to bask, favours damp habitats.
The larvae inhabit rotting matter such as liquid manure,
Hover flies are the most easily recognizable of the flies due to their often wasp-like or bee-like appearance and their ability to hover.
These superb aerial acrobats can move in all directions, including backwards, and can hold a fixed position in the air even in gusty conditions.
The adults are typically slender-bodied with black and yellow or white stripes; some are stout and hairt.
The eyes are large and in males meet on top of the head.
The wings have a characteristic false vein running down the middle ( a simple thickening of the wing membrane ) and a false margin at the edge ( the joining together of the outer wing veins ).
Despite the warning, wasp-like markings, and the bee-like appearance of many species, hover flies are harmless nectar feeders.
The larvae of a few species can be pests of cultivated bulbs.
Order - Diptera,
Family - Syphidae,
Species in Family - 6,000,
Size - 0.4 - 2.8 cm, ( Body length ),
Feeding - Larvae; predators and scavengers, Adults; liquid-feeders, herbivors,
Impact - Beneficial as predators of aphids,...
A female woolly-tailed marsh fly (iNat) or marsh tiger hoverfly (Falk) on knapweed in Chester Zoo Nature Reserve. One of three Helophilus species seen in the reserve that day.
Females are tricky to distinguish from the more common sun fly. This shot shows the two distinguishing features - a hind tibia that is mostly dark and a dusting that extends right the way up the frons.
L'éristale tenace ressemble à une abeille, ou plutôt à un faux bourdon. Mais elle est inoffensive. On la reconnait aux 2 taches jaune-orange sur le deuxième segment abdominal, à sa tête large et plutôt triangulaire, à ses gros yeux et ses antennes courtes. Le thorax est noir, recouvert de pilosité. La face est claire, avec une bande faciale noire très visible. Les pattes postérieures sont courbes, avec les fémurs et les tibias dilatés.
*************************************************************
The tenacious eristal resembles a bee, or rather a drone. But she is harmless. It is recognized by the 2 yellow-orange spots on the second segment of the abdomen, with its broad and rather triangular head, with its big eyes and short antennae. The thorax is black, covered with hair. The face is clear, with a very visible black facial band. The hind legs are curved, with femurs and dilated tibias.
🇫🇷Je ne suis pas certain de son identification, mais il semblerait que ce soit une Punaise du Pin ...: Leptoglossus occidentalis
Corps à dominante brune atteignant 20 mm (hors antennes et pattes). Antennes fines, mobiles, d'environ 12 mm, à quatre articles dont le premier (scape) est légèrement renflé. Tibias des pattes postérieures portant un élargissement aplati de forme ovale.
En cas de danger, Leptoglossus occidentalis peut produire une sécrétion dont l'odeur, selon certains agréable, rappelle quelque peu celle des aiguilles de pin et celle de la pomme.
Si c'est bien son nom , sa piqure ne serait pas dangereuse pour l'homme....
Mais, un guide local français, en voyant la photo, l'a décrit comme dangereux (se).... d'où mon incertitude sur l'identification proposée...Je ne doute pas des connaissances des amis qui vont l'identifier rapidement...
🇬🇧
I'm not sure of its identification, but it seems to be a pine bug...: Leptoglossus occidentalis
Predominantly brown body reaching 20 mm (excluding antennae and legs). Antennae thin, mobile, about 12 mm long, with four articles, the first of which (scape) is slightly bulging. Tibiae of hind legs with a flattened oval enlargement.
In case of danger, Leptoglossus occidentalis can produce a secretion whose odour, according to some agreeable sources, is somewhat reminiscent of pine needles and apples.
If that is its name, its bite is not dangerous to humans....
But, a local French guide, on seeing the photo, described it as dangerous.... hence my doubt about the proposed identification...I don't doubt the knowledge of friends who will identify it quickly
🇫🇷Autre possibilité:
Les réduves sont des hétéroptères (punaises), du grec ancien héteros (différent) et pterón (aile). Ces insectes possèdent en effet des ailes supérieures uniques qui se composent de 2 textures : épaisse et coriace à leur base (proche de la tête) et membraneuse à leur extrémité. Appelées hémélytres, elles se distinguent des élytres qui sont entièrement cornés, rigides et inaptes au vol comme chez le scarabée. Les punaises assassines appartiennent à l’ordre des hémiptères, aux côtés des cigales et des pucerons, insectes se caractérisant par un appareil buccal de type piqueur-suceur. Les réduves sont surnommés punaises assassines car ils se nourrissent de la chair ou du sang de leurs victimes.
🇬🇧 Another possibility:
Reductions are heteropterans (bugs), from the ancient Greek heteros (different) and pterón (wing). These insects have unique upper wings that consist of two textures: thick and leathery at the base (near the head) and membranous at the tip. These are called hemelytra and are distinct from the elytra, which are entirely horny, rigid and flightless as in the beetle. Assassin bugs belong to the order Hemiptera, along with cicadas and aphids, insects characterised by a biting-sucking mouth apparatus. They are called assassin bugs because they feed on the flesh or blood of their victims.
Adults of this family can usually be separated from other small flies by the strongly humped thorax, well-developed coxae, and often spinose legs, but identification within the family between genera and species generally requires close study of microscopic features such as subtle differences in wing venation and variation in chaetotaxy and genitalia. (in Wikipedia)
Dans la famille des Mycetophilidae, les adultes se distinguent des autres petits diptères par leur thorax très bossu, leurs hanches très développées et leurs tibias souvent épineux. L'identification des espèces nécessite l'étude de la nervation alaire et celle des genitalia.
A male European drone fly resting on a bramble leaf in Butter Hill Meadow, a former MOD petrol depot now part of the Chester Zoo estate.
This point of view shows at least three characteristic features (white face with no black stripe, diffuse wing stigmae, dark apex to mid tibia) making ID relatively straightforward.

Después de pensar,
Después de ver
A mi dolor andar
Sobre el agua del mar
Tibia claridad
Que vi, por mi calle pasar,
Sin saber qué hacer
Si sentir o pensar
Sólo que aún hoy,
Sigo aún, aún hoy, sigo aún
sigo ata...
Atándome a tí.
Aún hoy, mi amor, te doy
Mi cuerpo con alma,
Se esconde del sol (sol)
De noche se escapa de noche
Aún hoy, aún hoy
Te doy,
Mi cuerpo con alma
Aún hoy, aún hoy
(Aún hoy)
Aún hay, aún hay
Qué esconde la noche?
Va a guardar de nosotros dos
O sentir o pensar
Se me llenó de luz,
La noche
Es porque yo vi nadar
Delfines en tu voz
Y sentir sin pensar
Sólo que aún hoy,
Sigo, aún, sigo aún
Aún hoy
Sigo amándote a tí.
Aún hoy, mi amor, aún hoy, mi amor
Aún hay (aún hay)
Dos cuerpos con alma,
Se esconden,
Del sol (sol)
De noche se escapan, de noche, aún hoy
De noche, se dan,
Los cuerpos las almas
Aún hoy, aún hoy
(Aún hoy, aún hay)
Aún hay
Sólo que aún hoy
Sigo aún sigo aún
Aún hoy
Sigo amándote a tí
(Amándote a tí)
Aún hoy, mi amor aún hoy, mi amor
Aún hay, (aún hay)
Dos cuerpos con alma aún hay
Se esconden
Del sol (sol)
De noche se escapan, aún hoy
De noche, (se dan)
Los cuerpos las almas
Aún hoy (aún hay)
Aún hay..... (aún hay...)...
This is one strange creature. He was only measuring a tiny 10mm but up close he looks pretty cool. I'd love to know what he is? (After a bit of research I think he may be from the Assassin Bug family)
It's been a wet Spring here in the Northeast. Even though I reminded myself to be careful walking on the wet rocks, nature got me; place foot on angled rock, foot slips off rock, other leg smashes down on said rock and that's how to fracture one's tibia and patella. Adding insult to injury, Doc say I'm not allowed to put any weight on my leg for....12 weeks. Live and learn!
The herons are long-legged freshwater and coastal birds, with 64 recognised species, some of which are referred to as egrets or bitterns rather than herons. Although herons resemble birds in some other families, such as the storks, ibises, spoonbills, and cranes, they differ from these in flying with their necks retracted, not outstretched. They are also one of the bird groups that have powder down. Some members of this group nest colonially in trees, while others, notably the bitterns, use reed beds. The herons are medium- to large-sized birds with long legs and necks. The necks are able to kink in an S-shape, due to the modified shape of the cervical vertebrae, of which they have 20–21. The neck is able to retract and extend and is retracted during flight, unlike most other long-necked birds. The neck is longer in the day herons than the night herons and bitterns. The legs are long and strong and in almost every species are unfeathered from the lower part of the tibia (the exception is the zigzag heron). In flight, the legs and feet are held backwards. The feet of herons have long, thin toes, with three forward-pointing ones and one pointing backwards.

Well... It looks like a Common Candy-striped spider, but seems to lack the dark terminal ring on the first tibia, So it may be some other Comb-footed Spider like Enoplognatha latimana - redimita form.
But it seems from the little bit of research I've done, the redimita form Enoplognatha ovata lack that dark terminal ring... All very confusing.

Hoy llueve como nunca y mientras veo la lluvia, deseo que ella borre tus huellas sobre mi piel y se lleve lejos tu sabor y desvanezca tu olor. Extiendo mis manos a través de la ventana y se empapan de humedad tibia que desprende la noche como dejando caer algo que ciertamente sostenían, como lavando mi culpa, como perdonando mi error. Hoy es un día triste, un día gris, un día de soledad que lo llena todo
Luces pequeñas,casi apagadas que iluminaron como una llama...mis ilusiones¡ me iluminaron esas palabras de tibias luces..!
Me iluminaron... me dieron vida... y sentí de nuevo en mi alma yerta, casi cerrada,
The garden Inulas have had quite a few of these male red-tailed bumblebees visiting recently and I've also seen the odd queen. So it must be time to start the next brood.
The hind-leg view shows the tibia to be hairy rather than a shiny pollen basket. That means this bee doesn't collect pollen showing it to be male or one of the cuckoo bee species. But this doesn't look like a cuckoo bee.
A male marsh tiger hoverfly (common name according to Steve Falk) coming in to land on a bramble leaf in Chester Zoo's Butter Hill Meadow property (as the ex-MOD site has now been named).
Two identifying characteristics can be seen clearly. The transverse bars across the abdomen stop well short of the edge and at least half of the hins tibia are dark.
Bee collecting pollen from the flower. The pollen is collected into the pollen basket or corbicula (visible in the photo - orange "blob"). The pollen basket or corbicula is part of the tibia on the hind legs (Latin "corbicula" is a diminutive of "corbis," a basket). The corbicula is a polished cavity surrounded by a fringe of hairs, into which the bee collects the pollen. A bee moistens the forelegs with its protruding tongue and brushes the pollen that has collected on its head, body and forward appendages to the hind legs. The pollen is transferred to the pollen comb on the hind legs and then combed, pressed, compacted, and transferred to the corbicula on the outside surface of the tibia of the hind legs. Foraging bees bring pollen back to the hive, where they pass it off to other worker bees, who pack the pollen into cells with their heads.

Meadow Plant Bug, Leptopterna ferrugata, (male).
Family: Miridae
Leptopterna species are large and common grass bugs which often have reddish or orange-yellow forewings. They have a transverse furrow between the eyes and the legs and antennae are covered in long dark hairs.
There are two very similar species, both of which are sexually dimorphic. Males are always macropterous (fully-winged) and females usually brachypterous (partly-winged).
Male: Forewings usually pinkish-brown. The length of the 2nd antennal segment is roughly equal to the 3rd and 4th combined.
Female: The 2nd antennal segment is wider than the base of the front tibia.
A common and widespread bug throughout the UK, feeding on a variety of grasses; more common in drier habitats than Leptopterna dolabrata.
Machimus atricapillus
"Description
Generally larger and greyer than M. cingulatus with a more strongly marked abdomen. There are also differences in details of the antennae and genitalia. The front tibia are largely red and lack the black bands seen in other Machimus species.
"Similar Species
Males of this species are readily distinguished by the projecting tab on the last segment which bears a tuft of black hairs. The tab normally has a forked apex resembling a kite's tail. Both males and females can be separated from the similar M. cingulatus and M. coweni by the colour and patterns on the front tibia and femora. See Identification Aids below.
"Habitat
It can be found in a variety of habitats, especially scrubby grassland and woodland edge. It prefers light soils but is not as strongly associated with sandy soils as the similar M. cingulatus.
"When to see it
Most likely to be encountered in summer.
"Life History
Adults are predatory on many other species of flies and other insects. The larvae are presumed to develop as predators in soil.
"UK Status
Widespread and fairly frequent in England and Wales, particularly in the south."
An exciting moment finding my first female funnel web, a couple of summers ago.
The link to an image of her in defensive position is included below.

Exciting development in the world of arachnology, and on my doorstep as it were. Six years ago almost to the day, I came across my first Sydney funnel web. This is the time of year that males will be wandering in search of the females and I'd learned of several very large specimens having been found within a 25km radius of where I live.
Scientific examination (gene sequences, in combination with fine morphological detail) has shown that Atrax in this area are indeed a new species and have been named Atrax christenseni. The new species is named in honour of Kane Christensen for his dedication to documenting aspects of funnel web behaviour and collecting specimens for study. So, I have to amend my records of sightings. (Males of this new species can be separated from the Sydney funnel web and the Southern Sydney funnel web by the extra-long palpal tibia and embolus).
Sadly, our eight-legged icon is in decline. Loss of habitat and illegal trafficking being cited as probable main causes. For this reason, collection sites were not included in research papers.

Empis tessellata
"9-12mm. This is the largest of the genus. It is a bristly fly with brown-tinged wings. It has black femora but the tibia and tarsi may be red/brown.
"Similar Species: Empis opaca is another large Empis4 bristles on the scutellum; prosternum hairy all over (located under the thorax, between the head and front coxa)
"Habitat: It frequents hedges, woodland edges, gardens and shrubby habitats. Particularly common on Hogweed and other umbellifer flowers.
"When to see it: April to August.
"Life History: Though it feeds on nectar it is also a predator and catches other insects using its long pointed proboscis to pierce their bodies. Males of E. opaca and E. tessellata present a 'gift' to the female, in the form of a dead insect, before mating takes place. Females will not mate with males who do not present a gift."
